Having a settled presence in the United States for the past eight years – where it employs over 200 professionals – Foursys has been steadily strengthening its footprint in Europe from its Lisbon office, located on Avenida da Liberdade.

Maurício Barbieri has been appointed to lead this new phase of growth, with 25 years of experience in innovation and digital transformation, he is recognised for his collaborative leadership style and his commitment to delivering exceptional experiences for both users and clients.

Barbieri will be responsible for consolidating the company’s European hub from Lisbon, driving the development of new partnerships and strengthening the team.

“Taking on the leadership of Fousys in Europe is a challenge I embrace with great enthusiasm and a strong sense of purpose. I deeply believe in Portugal’s potential as the engine of this expansion – here we find talent, creativity, and a vibrant tech culture”, Maurício Barbieri, Managing Director of Foursys in Europe, stated. “My focus will be on consolidating the European hub from Lisbon, strengthening our teams, and building partnerships that combine Foursys’ global expertise with local innovation. We want Portugal to be not only the base of our operations but also a benchmark of excellence and collaboration in Europe.”
